This striking Austrian commemorative stamp was issued in 1973 to celebrate the 25th Dornbirner Messe, an annual trade fair held in Dornbirn, Vorarlberg. Designed by O. Stefferl, the stamp features the coat of arms of Dornbirn — a stylized tree trunk with leaves and roots — set against a field of alternating blue and white vertical stripes. The elegant gold and blue border adds a festive tone, symbolizing prosperity and industrial progress. With a face value of 2 Schilling (S2), this issue represents Austria’s postwar tradition of promoting regional trade and craftsmanship through philately.
